Just came back from 2 days worth of 108bds. Quite a no. to play, and that means high level of concentration and brain juice. Got squeezed really dry for the first day, especially so when my partner gave me difficult contracts to play. And seriously, 2 hot-boiled ppl shouldn't be partner. As I've previously experienced before. This is repeat telecast liao. NO proper partnership agreement, and understanding can result in horrible situation. The issue is, the bidding is unorthodox. Which he came up with, and only he can understand. How to play properly? It's either we take more time to accept and use his OWN conventions, if not, play the standard, and u can play with almost everyone.

Seeded 5th from the start, and we ended 6th. Just slightly off from 5th place, who was lucky to pull it off. The top 4 were in their own league, a class of their own. Can't catch up. ended off the last day well, scoring 67 / 75 VP. A good score to round it up. But well, it can't make up on the lost ground since yest le... At least I know I did my best, and I didn't make much mistakes. perhaps it's about time for me to move on and find outside clubs to further improve myself. I don't know if it's the right time to do so now...

Anyway, met up with 03S12 just now at Shokudo. Chose that place, cos of the locality, and the price variation, not too ex. if hungry, can buy more. The no. of ppl that turned up in the end was 11. Not bad. 2 ppl suddenly last min back out due to some reasons. Those that were present, Jermanyne, Mindy, Anu, May2, Jia Cai, Allen, Fatt, Cheng xun, Kristy, Jia yu. Amazed that Jia yu and kristy came. They like how long never appear le. lolz.. well done mindy for pulling them along. It's good to see all of them again, and seriously, it's nice catching up with them, and the conversations were very interesting, with diverse fields such as law, Medicine, Actuarial Science, Econs, life sciences, Pharmacy, Bio Eng, Biz. Sharing all the different views and stories. It's being some time since so many ppl turn up all at once for a 03S12 gathering le.. =) nice nice..

Shall see when it would be for the next gathering..
